ANDRITZ SME-Q and SMX-Q belt presses are low-profile machines for dewatering municipal and industrial sludge, designed for high dry solids and throughput. Modular roll configuration allows 7, 8, or 12 rolls. Wide gravity zone and camber wedge support efficient flow and gradual pressure increase. Installation costs are reduced by eliminating platforms.

  • Belt press for sludge dewatering with modular roll options

  • Low-profile design at 152cm

  • Flexible roll configuration (7, 8, or 12 rolls) without frame changes

  • Wide gravity zone for efficient processing without extra thickening equipment

  • Optimised camber wedge for gradual pressure increase a

  • Low energy use and reduced polymer consumption

  • Improved operator safety with all maintenance points at ground level

Applications

  • Thickening and dewatering of municipal and industrial sludge

  • Pulp and paper sludge

  • Manure and biogas applications

  • Slaughterhouse and chemical sludge
